The Indiana Pacers will be without forward Pascal Siakam when they take on the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night. Siakam is dealing with a right knee sprain and has been ruled out for the game. Both the Pacers and Kings have lengthy injury reports, with a combined 16 players listed as out, doubtful or questionable.

Why it matters

Siakam's absence is a significant blow for the struggling Pacers, who are already last in the Eastern Conference standings. The Kings, who are also at the bottom of the West, will look to take advantage of Indiana's depleted roster as both teams try to end their seasons on a high note despite their playoff hopes long faded.

The details

According to the NBA injury report, Siakam is one of 10 Pacers players listed as out, doubtful or questionable for Tuesday's game. The Kings also have six players on their injury report. With both teams dealing with significant injury issues, the matchup could be more about which team can stay healthy and competitive rather than which has the superior talent.
